Since the end of the cold war, the United States (US) significantly reduced its overseas basing structure and personnel. These factors increased the importance of AMC's aircraft and enroute structure to ensure the US can project power anywhere, at anytime. To accomplish these tasks, AMC builds a virtual air mobility superhighway across the globe to move forces where needed. Traditionally, interdiction is thought of as an action the US does to enemy forces prior to them reaching the battlefield, However, little thought is given to how interdiction may be used against US forces to reduce its power projection capability. Some non-state actors, such as AI Qaeda, possess the means to interdict the air mobility superhighway using techniques from the emergence of fourth generation warfare (4GW).
